This is rather an interesting one: we first added support for running
upstart as a non-priv user, we forced it to run in debug mode (since
debugging was the main reason for running init as a non-priv user). As
such, when you run "init --user", you are automatically in debug mode
('initctl log-priority' confirms this).

This problem has not been seen on the desktop because there, the login
script redirect stdout to null and only redirect stderr to $HOME
/.xsession-errors... but Upstart, when run as a non-priv user, outputs
its debug to stdout.

There are 2 work-arounds for this problem:

1) Create a job that specifies:

    start on startup
    exec initctl log-priority message

2) Use shell redirection to change the exec line in 
/etc/init/ubuntu-touch-session.conf to discard stdout.
    
    This sounds a little extreme, but higher priority messages from Upstart go 
to stderr and hence *will* still get logged to 
/var/log/upstart/ubuntu-touch-session.log as expected.
